The WTI stands for West Texas Intermediate, one of three major types including Brent and Dubai Crude. WTI is also referred to as \u201clight\u201d and \u201csweet\u201d because of its relatively low gravity and sulfur content respectively. It is considered a high quality Oil that is easily refined. It is sourced in the United States and distributed via the Cushing hub, which is considered \u201cThe Pipeline Crossroads of the World\u201d. It is a benchmark for the Oil market and WTI price is frequently quoted in the media.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<h3 class=\"fxs-faq-module-header\"><label for=\"content-module-faq-Commodities-wti-78accordion1\"><br \/>\nWhat factors drive the price of WTI Oil?<br \/>\n<\/label><\/h3>\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Like all assets, supply and demand are the key drivers of WTI Oil price. As such, global growth can be a driver of increased demand and vice versa for weak global growth. Political instability, wars, and sanctions can disrupt supply and impact prices. The decisions of OPEC, a group of major Oil-producing countries, is another key driver of price. The value of the US Dollar influences the price of WTI Crude Oil, since Oil is predominantly traded in US Dollars, thus a weaker US Dollar can make Oil more affordable and vice versa.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<h3 class=\"fxs-faq-module-header\"><label for=\"content-module-faq-Commodities-wti-78accordion2\"><br \/>\nHow does inventory data impact the price of WTI Oil<br \/>\n<\/label><\/h3>\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The weekly Oil inventory reports published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Energy Information Agency (EIA) impact the price of WTI Oil. Changes in inventories reflect fluctuating supply and demand. If the data shows a drop in inventories it can indicate increased demand, pushing up Oil price. Higher inventories can reflect increased supply, pushing down prices. API\u2019s report is published every Tuesday and EIA\u2019s the day after. Their results are usually similar, falling within 1% of each other 75% of the time. The EIA data is considered more reliable, since it is a government agency.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<h3 class=\"fxs-faq-module-header\"><label for=\"content-module-faq-Commodities-wti-78accordion3\"><br \/>\nHow does OPEC influence the price of WTI Oil?<br \/>\n<\/label><\/h3>\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is a group of 12 Oil-producing nations who collectively decide production quotas for member countries at twice-yearly meetings. Their decisions often impact WTI Oil prices. When OPEC decides to lower quotas, it can tighten supply, pushing up Oil prices. When OPEC increases production, it has the opposite effect. OPEC+ refers to an expanded group that includes ten extra non-OPEC members, the most notable of which is Russia.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price falls on Friday, early in the European session.
